+""" Here I implemented the scoring functions.
+    MAE, MSE, RMSE, RMSLE are included.
+
+    Those are used for calculating differences between
+    predicted values and actual values.
+
+    Metrics are slightly differentiated. Sometimes squared, rooted,
+    even log is used.
+
+    Using log and roots can be perceived as tools for penalizing big
+    erors. However, using appropriate metrics depends on the situations,
+    and types of data
